Answer preview

One career that has always interested me is to be a college school counselor. School counselors are educators who are certified, and this gives them the authority to address the academic, development, career, emotional and social needs of students. They often do this by designing, enhancing, implementing and evaluating school counselling programs that are comprehensive to promote the success of students. They promote access to rigorous learning experiences and equity through collaboration, leadership, as well as advocacy. This way, they are able to support a learning environment that is safe, thereby safeguarding the basic human rights for all school community members.
